I'm not a guru, but my thoughts are, No.

Simply because Macy's is a tiny cog in a big wheel. Retail sales.

Apple on the other hand is a big wheel in the entire machine of personal computers and phones. Apple controls 40% of the smart phone market and 7.4% of the worldwide personal computer market.

Historically, this is a quiet time for Apple:

Note that their fiscal year ends on September 30. So, we just started Q4-15, on Apple's financial calendar.

Here's another graph that breaks down revenue by product:

But, the originator of this one has adjusted it to match the calendar that you and I use -- we just started Q3. They haven't released any new products recently, and people are waiting for the iPhone 7 before committing. Ditto for the MacBook and iPad.

Apple? We switched to Samsung. Had IPhones from day one. I won’t be getting any more IPads either, Ever.

Even tho I use a Mac as a work station and a PC for lap work I will not buy anything from that organization again. My wife switch to a Toshiba laptop and really likes. Has a full keyboard which is nice.
